The Australian chef added: “We’ve not been to each other’s houses… If we go away to somewhere like South Africa, we do things separately. If we do go out for a drink, I’ll invariably be at one end of a big old table and he’ll be at the other.”

Wallace, on the other hand, told ITV’s Lorraine Kelly the pair were “very close”. In fact, Torode was best man at Wallace’s wedding to Anne-Marie Sterpini in 2016.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actress Janet Hubert (second right) continues to be unhappy with her former co-stars

Fans of the hit ’90s US sitcom the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air were delighted when a cast reunion picture was posted on Instagram by Alfonso Ribiero last March.

But one person who wasn’t so happy was Janet Hubert, who played Aunt Viv in the first three series of the hit show.

She wrote on Facebook in response: “There will never be a true reunion of the Fresh Prince. I have no interest in seeing any of these people on that kind of level.”

Ouch.

The actress was sacked and replaced in 1993 after a conflict over money and egos with the show’s star Will Smith.

Smith said later Hubert considered him the “antichrist” and “a snotty-nosed punk” and she wanted the comedy to be “The Aunt Viv of Bel Air Show”.

In the years since, Hubert has been publicly vocal in her criticism of Smith and has also claimed he and Ribiero had “destroyed” her “20-year career with untruths”.

More instalments of this feud may be yet to come.

3. American Idol

With two musical divas working together it was possibly inevitable there would be some fireworks.

So Mariah Carey saying she didn’t exactly enjoy her time as a judge on 2012’s American Idol while working with Nicki Minaj may not be a total surprise.

“Ugh. It was the most abusive experience,” the singer said last year on a press tour.

There were many reports of on-set cat fighting and increasingly heated exchanges between the two stars, with producers forced to stop auditions at one point.

Footage of Minaj yelling at “her highness” Mariah emerged in the media, and the rapper claimed Carey didn’t want another female star on the talent show “coming to steal her shine”.

The rage spilled out onto social media and former US President Obama was even questioned about it on Miami radio station Y100’s The Yo Show.

After just one series, both Carey and Minaj abandoned ship, with Mariah later saying in a radio interview she had “hated” every minute and it was like “working in hell with Satan”.

7. The Good Wife

There’s nothing like the tension of a legal drama to keep viewers glued to their seats, and The Good Wife more than fulfilled this brief.

But early in the show’s history, rumours began to surface that all was not quite right between leading ladies Julianna Margulies and Archie Panjabi.

The pair played on-screen best friends who fell out in season two and then rarely interacted with each again – something which appeared to spill over into real life.

Panjabi left at the end of season six and her final scenes showed her sharing a drink with Margulies. But viewers were shocked to later find out they filmed the scene apart and they were stuck together in post-production afterwards.

Addressing the rumours surrounding her departure last year, Panjabi said: “In terms of anything that happened on The Good Wife, I think it’s only respectful for it to stay on The Good Wife.

“It was time for me, for many reasons, to unzip the boots and step into another show.”
